Moderately operations." growing cities are shifting toward multi-family dwellings quite as rapidly as boom towns. "Answers to questionnaires reveal certain reasons why people prefer to rent rather than to own. The cost of a suitable house places it out of their reach; they do not feel competent to judge property values; ownership ties them to one town and lessens their economic power in wage bargaining; they do not want the responsibilities of ownership, and they prefer to invest in radios, automobiles and similar luxuries. "Much building of today is unecono. mic and unscientific. Anybody and everybody is building homes without intelligent forethought. What is needed is research and scientific analysis 0f the situation." Mr. Hinman suggested that objection to ownership ma'd e by prospective buy· ers that they do not feel competent to judge the value of property could be met by setting up certain standards and grading properties as securities are graded. He also recommended that real estate buyers be educated and a de· sire for home ownership be stimulated through a ·campaign of advertising by real estate boards.
